Kendrick Lamar MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Kendrick Lamar? Kendrick Lamar is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - so/sp - 416 in Enneagram, RLOAI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers is the most prominent example that makes me think Kendrick is IEI (INFJ) sp461 EVFL, intentionally being his most personal album to date. It’s already widely agreed he’s definitely 4w5, but what doesn’t make sense is social 4 > self preservation 4. The premise of songs such as “Count Me Out” and “Savior” is his inability to show weakness, yet being self-sacrificing to a fault and carrying others struggles on his own back. He learns to gradually make peace with his self and allow himself to rely on others— the premise is very stereotypically self-preservation 4, which makes me wonder how the consensus hasn’t been turned sooner. His attachment to his identity and finding his own path while navigating his own struggles with opening up make this more obvious— not only that but holding hisself to an unrealistic standard of a “savior” shows the utter perfectionism of a sp4. Most so4’s are EFVL, and I can’t see this for Kendrick. As MMTBS confirms he doesn’t have confident physics as he’s constantly questioning his connection with the material world, it’s a big insecurity throughout the album. His deep nature for caregiving and wanting to help others, also his interviews really does indicate he’s EVFL, which is also most typical for sp4’s.
Biography
Kendrick Lamar Duckworth (born June 17th, 1987) is an African-American rapper, reputed for delivering politically charged, narrative-driven, self-reflective and poetic lyrics and music showcasing vivid imagery and resonant storytelling. He draws from his upbringing in a bad neighborhood in Compton, California, riddled with crime, gangsterism and racial oppression, as well as his current status as one of the modern day, if not of all time (even being the first rapper to ever win a Pulitzer prize), and his resulting sense of survivor's guilt, responsibility and an unfortunate Savior complex.
